I have one important thing to say. Well, I forgot to say this since the start of the story. The character of Touka won't be 100% the same as in the anime. Sorry for telling a little late. Anyway, enjoy the story.

I don't own Naruto.

I don't own Tokyo Ghoul, too. ;)

Chapter 7: The Beginning of a Half Ghoul

He woke up after 2 days later. He saw some food placed on a table beside him. He was hungry. So he picked it up and ate it. But it only taste slimy for him. So he stopped eating and put it back to the table.

Then a doctor came in and asked "How are you feeling now?"

"I am fine." he replied.

The doctor then looked at the food and asked "Why don't you eat? You might be hungry. You have been unconscious for 2 days." he said.

"I don't want to. It just tastes slimy." he said.

"Oh, you will be alright again a few more days later. You can leave tomorrow if you want to" he said.

"Okay, ..."

Then the doctor left him. He just rested the whole day.

The next day, after he had left the hospital, he walked back to his home. When he opened the door, he saw a package with a letter, "For Kaneki"

He just smiled at it. His friend never forgets him. Hide always cared about him. That's why Hide is his best friend.

He then opened the package and saw a lot of snacks. He took one of them and opened the TV.

A woman from TV asked "Can only ghouls eat human flesh?"

"Yeah" answered the other man.

"Why can't they eat other food?"

"Well, for them, those taste slimy. The only thing delicious for them is human flesh. That why they only eat it."

Kaneki's eyes widened at his answer. Everything he eats has been slimy during these days. He then ate the potato chips his friend gave. But it only tasted slimy and he spat those out. He then tried to eat again. But he spat them out again. He then rushed to the food package his friend gave. And he tried to eat one after another.

He still couldn't eat anything he spat out everything he ate because they all tasted slimy. He then ran towards his bathroom and looked into the mirror. One of his eyes was already turned into red. He then grabbed his coat and ran outside. And he started to walk around the city.

While he was crossing a street, he started to felt hungry as he saw humans walking around him. He tried to grab a girl next to him. But he stopped himself and ran away.

"Why! Why am I happening like this!?" he shouted.

He then smells something delicious. 'Wow, it is just like my mother's cooking' he thought as he ran straight towards the place he smells. He then saw a ghoul eating a human.

"Yo! you want some?" he asked as he gave him a hand of a human.

"No, ... this can't be happening. I am not a ghoul!" he shouted himself as he back away from the ghoul. Then another ghoul with orange hair came and asked "What are you doing in my hunting zone?" as he kicked the head of the ghoul. And the head fell from his shoulders and rolled over to Kaneki.

At the Same Time

"Hey Touka-chan, where are you going?" he asked as he followed her.

"Oh, um ... I need to eat, ya know" she said.

"Oh, I completely forgot that you were a ghoul."

"I think so"

"Hey, ya know, if you are hungry, you can ha-. Hey is that a ghoul or a human?" he asked as he pointed at a boy with a blue coat. And one of his eyes is red.

"I don't know, let's go and see" she said as both of them followed the running boy.

Back with Kaneki

The orange haired ghoul then came nearer to him. "Hmm... where's your other red eye? I have never seen someone like you before. But more importantly, you know what happens when you get caught on someone else's territory, right?" he asked as he rushed to him and slammed him against the wall holding him from the throat.

"N-No, I wasn't - I didn't know ... I just happened to be passing by ..." he replied.

"Okay imagine this. Your girlfriend is naked and lying on the ground. There's a guy there with his pants down, he turns around and says to you, 'I wasn't doing anything, I just happened to be here.' That's exactly what I am getting from you right now. If it were up to me, I'd blow his brains out. That's why I'm going to kill you, because you trespassed on my hunting zones-"

"Whose hunting zones did you say?" said Touka as she arrived behind him with Naruto.

"Since when were these your hunting zones, Nishiki?"

"Touka ... isn't Rize dead?"

"Now that Rize's gone, the responsibility of allocating hunting zones to the weaker ghouls and those at the 20th Ward falls on Anteiku's shoulders." she said as her eyes turned red.

"Are you serious? A bunch of fence-sitter like those of you have no right to make decisions for others. This was my hunting zone before Rize came-"

"Because you were too weak"

"Getting told off by some younger overconfident little punk really pisses me off" he said as he changed into his ghoul form.

"Does it now?" she asked as she walked towards him. Naruto was just watching them.

"Enough is enough" he shouted as he rushed towards her and tried to hit her.

But she dodged him and cut him at his face.

"You will have to cut deeper than that" he said. Suddenly, many cuts appear at his legs and hands.

"Should I cut a little deeper next time?" she asked. He then ran away.

She then looked at the boy in front of her who was looking at a corpse.

"You want this?" she asked as she picked up a hand of a dead body.

His hand tried to reach it. But he stopped himself.

"You are not gonna eat?" she asked.

"And one of your eyes is normal" she then remembered. "You are the one with Rize. Why weren't you eaten? Wait ... That eye"

"Please help me!" he said.

"I know you are not going to believe this, but I swear I am a human! And I still want to devour it so badly. But if I do, I will become a ghoul"

"If you're in that much pain, then eat" she said as she gave him. He then grabbed it from her hands.

"No. NO WAY! I'll never do it!" he shouted.

"There is no way I can eat something like that" he said.

"What is this? What is it to be a ghoul? Killing people each other. I am not like that. I am a human"

"That's ridiculous. Why don't you just give in? If you don't have nerve to eat ..." she said as she picked up another hand of a dead body.

"Then I will give you a hand" she said as she rushed towards him and forced it in his mouth. He then swallowed it. He then lost conscious.

Naruto was just watching them without interfering. He then walked towards her. "Isn't that a little rough?" he asked.

"Well, that's the only way to help him" she said.

"Aren't you afraid of these dead bodies or don't you feel anything?" she asked.

"No I don't. The place I came from has something like these too."

"I think we should take him to Anteiku" he said as he pointed at the unconscious boy.

"I don't know. If you think so, let's take him. But you carry him" she said.

"I know I will carry him. Let's go" she said.

Both of them arrived back at the Anteiku, and both of them walked into the manager's office.

"Oh hey old man, this guy need some help. He is some kind of ghoul. But he is not a ghoul." he said as he put him down on a bed.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"Well, he has one ghoul eye but the other is just normal human eye" Naruto answered.

"I see,... so this must be it" the manager said.

"What do you mean?" Touka asked.

"Do you remember the story about an organ transplant that's been on the new recently? The one where two students were crushed under some kind of steel loads. The doctor decided to transplant the deceased girl's organs to the young man's body , who was barely alive."

"But the girl that died in that accident was..." she said.

"It was Rize-chan." the manager said.

"Wait. You couldn't possibly mean ... "she said.

"Yes. He is that very young man." the manager said.

"Wait a minute guys. What are you guys talking about?" Naruto asked confusedly.

"Don't you watch news, you idiot?" she asked as she smacked his head.

"Hehe, Sorry I don't even have a home, ya know." Naruto said as he rubbed the place where Touka hit.

"The doctor transplanted the organs of a ghoul into him." the manager said.

"But that's just absurd!" Touka said.

"I've never seen anything like it before, but he may be turning into one of us." the manager said.

"Anyway, we should talk to him when he woke up. I am going up. See ya tomorrow Touka-chan" Naruto said as he walked upstairs.

"You should go to bed too, Touka-chan. Today has been a busy day for you." the manager said.

She just went upstairs. She then entered her house and saw Naruto preparing to sleep.

"Oh hey Touka-chan, ya know, you still haven't eat" he said.

"Oh you are right. I think I will go hunting tomorrow."

"You still remember what I was saying before these things happen?"

"No" she said confusedly.

"Well, I was saying that you can have me, if you are hungry. I am a fast healer."

Her eyes widened at it. "What are you saying? You will die if I eat you. Are you out of your mind?"

"No, I am not. But I really heal fast." he then took out a kunai from his pouch and cut his finger. Instantly his finger regrew. "What the hell? I have never seen a human who heals this fast." she said. "I told you I really heal first. If you eat just a part of my body right now, I will regrow back in the morning. I know you are hungry Touka-chan. You haven't eaten since the last time I saw you eating."

"Are you really sure about this?" she asked. He just nodded.

She then leaned towards him and bit his neck. "Ouch" he said as she started to eat his ... neck and shoulder. (A.N: I got this idea from Rosario + Vampire, in that anime Moka always bite Tsukune's neck for blood. I don't know this is good or not. But, I will just add it.)

"Man, you ate a lot" he said.

"Sorry, I got carried away" she said with a slight blush. She then looked at the place she ate and saw that it already had started to heal.

"Wow, you are already healing?" she asked surprisingly.

"I already told you that I am fast at healing" he said.

"You never stop surprising me" she said.

He just gave her his foxy grin.

"Well see ya tomorrow, Naruto" she said as she ran into her bedroom.

He then lay onto his couch and said "Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day" as he slept.

The next morning, Naruto walked downstairs, and saw the boy woke up.

"Yo, you awake?" he asked as he sat beside him. He then remembered him.

"You are that guy from yesterday?"

"Oh so you noticed me."

"How did I get here?" he asked.

"Well, Touka-chan brought you back here"

He then put his finger into his mouth and saw his finger came out with some blood.

"I've been ... consumed by my hunger the entire time. I was so hungry I thought I might die. I didn't even know what I was doing. But now, that hunger is completely gone. That blood that was in my mouth... Please tell me what did you do while I was asleep?" he asked.

Then a voice from behind them answered "There is only one way to satisfy a ghoul's hunger. You know what that is, right?"

Both of them turned around to see the manager of Anteiku.

"If you had starved any longer, you would've killed someone. You have to accept what you are."

"I don't want to hurt anyone.." he said while crying.

"That's why I can't be around anyone anymore. But I can't enter the world of ghouls, either. As someone who's neither human nor ghoul, I ... am all alone. There is nowhere I can call home now"

The manager then opened the lights and said "You are wrong. You are both ghoul and human. You are the one and only person who holds a place in both of these worlds. Come over to Anteiku. I am certain that it'll lead you to a path where you can hold your own. I also want you to understand us better. To see whether or not we're just ravenous monsters."

"How about it? Why don't we start off by learning how to brew a delicious cup of coffee?" the manger asked.

"Well, um.. do you have faith in someone like me?" he asked.

Somewhere at the Roof Top

"Is it a place where you see a blond haired boy jumping whenever he saw you?" asked an old man.

"Yeah." said the two police officers.

"The last time we saw, he was with a purple haired girl." said one of them.

"Hmmm, ... Did you see their faces?"

"No, we only see their hair and the boy is always wearing some kind of orange jumpsuit."

His eyes widened. 'Naruto Uzumaki, could you be stranded in here just like me' thought the old man whose right eye is covered with bandages and without a right arm.
